1857 INDIAN Tribes Schoolcraft Native American Wars Nanticoke Amer Revolution HUGE
Henry Rowe Schoolcraft was an early American ethnologist and expert on Native American culture. He was well-known for his Congress-commissioned study on United States Indian tribes beginning in 1851, of which the content was considered 'valuable scholarship' by critics.
In 1847, the United States Congress passed an act which collected the history of Native American Indian tribes, a task which Schoolcraft headed. The final volume of the work proved to be the best as it was regularly published under the title "The American Indians".
Schoolcraft's studies on Indians are considered the most extensive works on Native Americans published in the 19th-century, and, according to Field contain
"a vast mass of really valuable information and has indeed performed a very important service for Indian history, in collecting and preserving an immense amount of historic data. Vocabularies of Indian languages, grammatical analyses,… Read More

1838 PIONEERS 1ed Far West Western Frontier Exploration Native American INDIANS

"The Far West: or, A Tour Beyond the Mountains" by Edmund Flagg is an exhaustive two-volume account of the author's extensive explorations through Missouri and Illinois during the 19th century. Flagg, a writer, lawyer, and diplomat, presents a tapestry of western life, detailing the stunning landscapes of prairies and rivers, the mysteries of ancient mounds, and the early settlements of the French. Initially, his experiences and observations were written as travelogue sketches and shared with the readers of the Louisville Journal. After receiving positive responses and due to the urging of friends, Flagg decided to compile, revise, and expand these sketches into this comprehensive work. His fascinating book showcases his indebtedness to previous authors who had written about the West, and it serves as a significant contribution to the literature of Western Americana.

1851 Native American Indian Tribes Wars Red Race Chiefs Oneota Henry Schoolcraft

"the most reliable observations that had been made among various tribes…pertaining to almost every field of American ethnology." (Larned)

Henry Rowe Schoolcraft was an early American ethnologist and expert on Native American culture. He was well-known for his Congress-commissioned study on United States Indian tribes beginning in 1851. The content of this work was considered 'valuable scholarship' by critics and included accurate illustrations by Eastman. Leading up to this study, Schoolcraft published "Oneota, Characteristics of the Red Race of America" in 1845, a work which was later published under the title "The American Tribes".

Schoolcraft's studies on Indians are considered the most extensive works on Native Americans published in the 19th-century, and, according to Field contain

1891 Indian Horrors 1ed Native American Massacres Sitting Bull Illustrated WARS
Henry Northrop's "Indian Horrors" is a supremely biased account of warfare and relationships between Native American Indian tribes and the 'White' settlers from the early 17th-century through the end of the 19th-century. The book appears to have been published shortly after the Battle (or massacre) of Wounded Knee. There is commentary and details on torture, murders, scalping, rape, battles, massacres, and more. Northrop also includes ideas on how to "civilize the savages" and change them of their customs, culture, and military issues.
Northrop himself states in the preface of this work:
"This work embraces a full account of all the memorable Indian wars in the United States, together with a record of terrible personal encounters with the Red Men, hairbreadth escapes, thrilling captures, and bloody massacres."
